Democracy Do-List

A curated list of actions to take this week to protect democracy. 

Indivisible NEO

When Biden left the White House, the national average price for a gallon of gasoline was $3.10. Now that average has shot up to nearly $4.50.

 

Of course, that spike is due to the ongoing crisis caused by the ill-considered and ill-prepared military strikes against Iran. According to a CNN poll announced last week, a full 76% of respondents said that the war wasn’t worth the deaths and the economic toll that we are paying.

 

And yet there is no end in sight for this conflict, as just a few days ago the White House occupant refused Iran’s latest ceasefire proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz to oil tankers. In fact, just a few days ago he threatened to “annihilate” Iran while speaking at an assembly of the United Nations.

 

And both our senators voted against a resolution to withdraw our military forces, which has already been approved by the House.

 

This obstinance from our senators shows how important it is to rally our friends and family to vote this November. Numerous efforts to get out the vote are ongoing: face-to-face canvassing, phone banking, postcard writing and more. Our action list below continues to focus on these efforts. 

 

The Supreme Court ruled that the Trump administration can release “SAVE”, a national database that state and local officials can use to purge its voter rolls. This database includes citizenship information, Social Security numbers and other sensitive data compiled from federal agencies.

 

Implementation of the database had been blocked by federal judge Sparkle Sooknanan, who declared in a memorandum opinion that: “the agencies were scrambling to comply with an Executive Order aimed at reshaping federal elections, which directed them to create a system for mass voter verification. So they haphazardly combined and repurposed the private information of millions of Americans, including citizenship data that they knew to be unreliable.”


Given this reckless response to the wildly exaggerated threat of voter fraud, it’s more important than ever to be vigilant in safeguarding our right to vote. You can check your voter registration status using the website Vote4Ohio.

Do you have a finance background? Indivisible NEO is looking for help

When we began this endeavor back in 2025, we only needed one treasurer to help us manage our Act Blue account.

The time commitment only takes about an hour or so each month. If you have a financial background and are interested in helping out, please email us. Training and support will be provided.  


Talk to your neighbors about Sherrod Brown and the upcoming election

Face-to-face conversations with voters are proven to be one of the most powerful tools we have for turning out progressives—and Neighbor2Neighbor makes it easier than ever. Sign up and they'll send you a list of 10 progressive-leaning neighbors, a short conversation script, best practices for successful door knocking, and an optional printout to leave if no one's home. Then you simply knock on doors whenever it's convenient for you—no rigid schedules or complicated training required. These are your neighbors, and they share your values, so these conversations should feel natural and friendly.

Speakers will discuss the steps each of us can take to defend our democracy, protect the vote and defend the midterms from Trump's sabotage and interference. The regime intends to make our elections as chaotic and confusing as possible, but together, we can stay prepared and ready to respond to anything they throw our way. 



Send postcards

Write postcards to Swing States (including Ohio) or send them on behalf of Sherrod Brown.


Check your voter registration

Everyone in Ohio needs to check their voter registration starting on Sept. 29, 2026, and re-register by Oct. 5th if purged. In 2023, the Ohio government purged 26,000 Ohioans who hadn't voted in two cycles on Sept. 27, 2023, so they only had a few days to discover the purge and then re-register. Check your registration and make sure you are eligible to vote on Nov. 3.

Here you can find every available volunteer role, what is involves, how much time it takes and how to sign up. Read through each one carefully and choose the role that fits your skills, your schedule and your commitment level. Every single role matters, and together we will make sure that Ohio's voters decide on Nov. 3rd is exactly what gets certified.
